Neither in the article nor the comments: Twitter previously issued a statement saying that this did not violate their policy. Twitter also justified allowing the calls for genocide by the Ayatollah on their platform. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/01/twitter-says-it-wont-take-down-chinese-tweet-praising-uygur-policy/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/01/twitter-says-it-... https://jewishjournal.com/news/worldwide/319713/twitter-official-says-ayatollah-khameneis-tweets-are-permissible-because-theyre-foreign-policy-saber-rattling/ https://jewishjournal.com/news/worldwide/319713/twitter-offi...

I can't understand why this newspaper would make such an outrageous claim and cite tweets which very clearly disprove the point just made. Am I missing something, or does the Ayatollah not call for genocide in those tweets? To those downvoting, I urge you to read the tweets linked. If I am wrong, simply quote the portion of these tweets which specifically makes a call for genocide and I will be delighted to be proven wrong.

  Seems pretty clear to me: "Why should & how can #Israel be eliminated? Ayatollah Khamenei's answer to 9 key questions." https://twitter.com/khamenei_ir/status/531366667377717248 https://twitter.com/khamenei_ir/status/531366667377717248

    "What does elimination of Israel mean in the viewpoint of Imam Khomeini?" "The only means of bringing Israeli crimes to an end is the elimination of this *regime*. And of course the elimination of Israel *does not mean the massacre* of the Jewish people in this region. The Islamic Republic proposed a practical & logical mechanism for this to international communities." I have a hard time understanding why so many people equate Israel with Israelis. Many people are opposing the Chinese government. Do you also equate their calls to end China's government with a call to genocide against all Chinese?
